Creek Thunder
I have read all the White Indian series. They were great. However, I would like to know if Donald Porter is going to continue the series or is it the end.

Renegade
Renegade was probably one of my most favorites, following Renno to England one minute and through the forests the next. I have a copy of each book of the series which I started collecting when I was 17 and have read each one at least 4 times. It really makes you feel like your part of the story.

Hooray for the White Indian
I have read twenty seven of Porter's White Indian Series and have been enthralled with the content. I have not read Creek Thunder because it has been unavailable. Porter's methods of entwining history and Fiction is facinating. I am now re-reading the series for the third time, and like other reviewers it is very hard to put them down

It was breath taking, I couldn't put it down once I started
I have read the whole series of the White Indian and would recomend it to everyone to read. It is a breath taking story and you feel like your right there with Renno and his tribe.

Exciting and captivating.
Although this was one of the saddest of the series, I celebrated Renno's life with him and grieved his passing. The whole series is a wonderful way to learn about the Seneca and some of the basics of Native Americans. This book and the series brought about a more personal glimpse of the first Americans.

Very informative and exciting.
This entire series is great. I have been reading this series since book one in 1979. Even though it is out of print, if you can get copies of the books, do so. This series gives you great insight into the Seneca tribe. You feel as if you are there as the events unfold, the author is very detailed and at the same time keeps the stories interesting and fresh.

SPARKS THINKING ON TOPIC OVERLOOKED IN ORGANIZATION CHANGE.
Explores the design of the physical workplace and the role this factor plays in improving productivity and operational effectiveness. Based on a four-year research project conducted by the MIT School of Architecture and Planning's Space Planning and Organization Research Group, this book introduces the concept of Process Architecture, meaning engaging a wide array of stakeholders in rethinking the dynamic relationship between work processes and the spatial, technological, financial, and organizational environments with which these processes occur. The authors provide a comprehensive explanation of the approach and framework with cases from the field. For those concerned with organizational strategy and design, this work introduces a key aspect-the workplace-often overlooked in organization change initiatives. This is an thoughtful book with original thinking. Highly recommended.

Father and Son [ White Indian 24]
I HAVE BEEN READING THESE BOOKS FOR OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THEM AND I CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT BOOK OF THE SERIES COMES OUT. ONCE I START TO READ ONE OF THESE BOOKS, I AM MOVED BACK IN TIME AND I RELIVE THE LIFE THAT RENNO AND HIS FAMILY DID AT THAT TIME IN HISTORY. I WAS GIVEN THE FIRST 4 BOOKS BY A FAMILY MEMBER AND I WILL NEVER GIVE THEM UP FOR ANYTHING,THESE BOOKS ARE A PART OF MY FAMILY NOW. I STUDIED NEW YORK HISTORY WHEN I LIVED IN THAT STATE AS A YOUNG GIRL AND MR PORTER IS SO CLOSE TO TELLING IT JUST LIKE IT WAS BACK THEN IN HISTORY. I DO HOPE THAT HE KEEPS ON WRITTING MORE TO THE SERIES.

Loved both the Father and the Son...
This book manages to recapture the intrigue and suspense of the first few releases in the White Indian series. Porter revisits Renno, the fourth generation since the original White Indian, in his trials and challenges of Sachem of the band of Senecca Indians displaced with their new brothers, the Cherokee. The story follows Renno as he prepares the next generation of Sachem(s!) to lead the band of Senecca. The authenticity of Porter's research shows, as he details the daily life and struggle, along with his flair for historical accuracy, of this time period. A must-read for any fan of the White Indian series.

Storyline ....
Since Amazon didn't post an editorial review, here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "As a young nation flexes its muscles, the White Indian struggles for his life ... and a new generation battles for justice. THE THREAT -- General James Wilkinson is a notorious scoundrel -- treasonous and corrupt. Yet as an American commander on the Southwest frontier, he wields power with a deadly grip. That is, until he falls under the lascivious thrall of the witch Melisande of New Orleans. Through her manipulation, Wilkinson plots to exterminate once and for all Renno, the White Indian. THE LEGACY -- Meanwhile, young Little Hawk has been selected for President Jefferson's pretigious new military academy at West Point. There, despite excelling in every field, he struggles in the terrible grip of prejudice. In the Southland, the young Mingo warrior White Blanket, a fervent follower of Tecumseh, joins a new Inidan Union to fight the white man as the tumultuous young United States tests its newfound strength by annexing the Louisiana Territory and waging a faraway ware with the Barbary pirates."

Storyline ....
Since Amazon didn't post an editorial review, here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "Fiery action sweeps across thirtheen New United States as America's greatest indian warrior begins a new battle for freedom .... and for love. THE ENEMY -- A vibrant frontier nation has beaten back the mighty British Empire and let freedom ring throughout the land. But the bells of liberty may be silenced as the English form a secret alliance with bloodthirsty renegade tribes. Only Renno, proud inheritor of the fighting skills of the legendary White Indian, can unite the Five Nations of the Iroquois in America's noble cause. Yet even Renno cannot foresee an enemy so powerful, so insidious in his cruelty and lust, that all whom the great Senecan loves may be doomed to die. THE WEAPON -- Deadly with his tomahawk, English longbow, and razor-sharp stiletto, Renno still needs a gift from the sacred Manitous -- a spirit knife -- to do battle with a more-than-human foe. For now supernatural wolves and a black and evil soul must be vanquished on the trail that leads to the arms of a flame-haired woman and victory for the White Indian's country ... and his heart."

WAR CLOUDS
I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED ALL OF THESE BOOKS AND WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO FIND ANY MORE OF THE SERIES IF POSSIBLE. I ALREADY HAVE MEDICAN SHIELD THATIS THE LAST ONE THAT I BOUGHT. THESE BOOKS DUE FOLLOW THE HISTORY OF OU COUNTRY VERY CLOSELY AND I FIND THAT MR PORTER IS ONE OF THE BEST WRITTERS THAT I HAVE EVER READ WHEN IT COMESTHE THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS AND I THINK THAT IF EVERYONE WOULD READ THESE BOOKS THEN THE WHITE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY WOULD UNDERSTAND WHERE US [INCIANS] ARE COMMING FROM. I THINK THAT THESE BOOKS OUGHT TO BE IN OUR SCHOOLS AND MANDITORY READING. JOYCE
